Mon, 19 Nov 2018 02:07:05 +0000http://www.ussmariner.com/?p=56280#comment-597696This was such all well written piece. One of the that I have ever read! Up until the last sentence. I won’t bash anyone for their opinions, as we are all entitled to our own. But I must say that I thourghouly enjoyed reading this article, that I had to read it Twice!!

I have seen zero facts to back up Martin at all and believe that whatever is going on in the Mariners organization is because of a lack of leadership. I’m not talking about the owner, GM, Manager, or Player. It could be anyone of them. Not since Lou Pineilla has anyone took this team by the “Balls” and imposed their will and vision on this organization. Pat Gillick is close runner-up. This organization will continue to suffer until we find that true leader. It will have to be one that will unite the team from top to bottom.

I say innocent until proven guilty, thank you, John Hancock.

It’s a one-sided story so far, with the M’s doing nothing more than denying everything.

Wed, 14 Nov 2018 11:30:54 +0000http://www.ussmariner.com/?p=56280#comment-597644I thought maybe it wouldn’t happen, but it looks like this story is going to develop into a complete black hole that it will be hard to get out of. This will impact all involved, and in ways – whether fair or not – no one can predict. This may go beyond news cycle opportunism and punditry. It could become another “cause celebre”. It could finish with book deals and speaking tours (I doubt, but there are plenty speaking tour agents who would snap such things up). Could it end careers? For some, definitely… for others, maybe not… although it could create difficulties of trust. I said earlier I didn’t mind the season ended in open acrimony… meaning they would do more than tweaking, etc. But this is something else. On a strictly baseball optic, this could create a wariness that will do more harm than good. I’m thinking this will pass, and sensible people will say and do the right things. But it will cost.

Tue, 13 Nov 2018 21:03:52 +0000http://www.ussmariner.com/?p=56280#comment-597642I have mostly supported Dipoto, and enjoyed the frenetic trading, except that we always seemed to be paying $1.10 to get $.95 back.

At this point, I think the team needs new ownership, and new leadership all the way down to the grounds keeping crew.

Bezos?

Tue, 13 Nov 2018 11:21:02 +0000http://www.ussmariner.com/?p=56280#comment-597638I think she went out of her way to say those things about Dipoto because in her reasoning, his views on other ethnic groups and the Mariners’ (as well as his previous team’s) lack of playoffs under him are connected. Which of course may or may not be true.

Yeah, that is a knock against her as it was unprofessional. She sounded like an upset fan when she bashed his W/L record as a GM. Not making the playoffs has very little to do with the allegations being leveled against him.
